Cannon Street Station

The Cannon Street Station is a central London railway terminus located in the City of London district. Cannon Street Station was built on a site of the medieval steelyard, the Hanseatic League's trading base in England, and it was built from 1863 to 1866. The station opened on 1 September 1866, and it became a major railroad station in the city. Following the nationalization of the railways in 1948, Cannon Street was targeted for redevelopment, as it had been heavily damaged during World War II. Steam trains stopped running from Cannon Street in 1959, and the station was controversially renovated. In the 2010s, for the first time in a hundred years, the station was opened on Sundays.
